RHEL and Cent OS.

We certainly make no such claim. In fact, to the contrary, see
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/, where I hope we make this
very clear: the Project enables the production of _user-focused_ solutions.
We're not just building a testing ground.



Fedora Server is one of those solutions, and here's its defining
documentation:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Server/Product_Requirements_Document#Fedora_Server_Vision_Statement:

 From that:

     Fedora Server Vision Statement
     ------------------------------

     Fedora Server is the preferred [community] platform for system
     administrators and developers seeking to deploy applications and services
     that use the latest technology on a stable foundation with effective
     resource utilization.


     Fedora Server Mission Statement
     -------------------------------

     Fedora Server is a common base platform with "featured server roles" built
     on top of it. We commit to produce, test, and distribute these server roles.


Is there a statement from the Fedora developers somewhere that
I could send this vendor to straighten him out?

Does that help?




Perfect!  I am going to rub this one into the vendor's face too!
